http://wiredispatch.com/news/?id=358709 Imagine if Obama and McCain agreed to this! I think Ahmadinejad would own them. He could put an end to the senseless propaganda they've each been spouting since the Presidential race began. I wonder if McCain will sing for him...
It won't happen, but I wish it would. That is actually a really classy move by Ahmadinejad. That's saying a lot, considering the caliber of his social commentary.
Yea, if the Republican/Democrat machine won't allow third party candidates into the debate, they would never do this... But it would be awesome none the less.
Even if he did "own" them, the media would spin it so badly in the candidates favor, it would be sickening.
I don't think he would own anything. I believe he would do what his kind always do, use it as a propaganda soap box to make a mockery of everything. Just like a couple of years ago when him and that little Che Guerra wanna be Hugo Chavez came to the U.N. and made complete spectacles of themselves. Fuck them, I wouldn't even acknowledge him. On a personal note, is it just me or does Ahmadinejad, wearing that members only jacket and the un trimmed beard and in need of a hair cut, look like he just left the Salvation army thrift store on his way to a AA meeting..... just sayin.
If by "own them", you mean Ahmadinejad would make a complete embarrassment of himself and increase the tension between Iran and the U.S., then you're right.
I would like to see this, a neo-nazi arab leader debate two possible future leaders of our great nation...
It could be the Matter/Anti-Matter generator we've been looking for! McBammadinehjad. The perpetual bullshit machine! Think of the natural gas alone! I would pay money to watch this debate, but how do we know they are being translated correctly? I wouldn't trust the subtitles.
By "own" I mean expose them for their fraudulence. This is a great example of how easily propaganda can warp the fragile minds of our youth. He is not an anti-semite because he opposes the US-Zionist movement. I don't wholly understand his justification for hisHolocaust conspiracy theory... but I feel like he's just trying to cause a stir to raise attention to Israeli expansion in the middle east. Ahmadinejad says some radical things, but he is cunning. Iran is more free than America (ok, it's not really), and he openly discusses the scam that is American politics. That holocaust nonsense aside, I still think he would raise valid points in a debate. Why do you think the US government hates him so much? Against the war on drugs, and criminalizing a social/medical problem, he recommends diversification of currencies instead of hedging everything on the crumbling US dollar... He's been turned into public enemy #1 for a reason... to feed the machine
Ok, not really, you're right. I didn't know they still oppressed women like that. Religous law is a bitch. But in some aspects I still think they are freer.
I don't know man. "But under Iranian law, a woman is treated as half of a man. In court, the testimony of two women equals that of one man; a man's son inherits twice as much as his daughter; compensation for the accidental death of a man is twice that for a woman." http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20757597/ I don't know what freedoms they could be allowed that would negate something as extreme as that (among other things). Unless of course you mean that we'd enjoy greater freedom there as men, over women
Yea, me neither. I was going off their socialist economy striving to go private, their lax drug policies... wasn't too clear on their civil liberties. But maybe it's ethnocentric to view their religious beliefs as immoral... Here is Ahmadinejad's justification: And from the article you cited: And the women are fighting to change the laws... they are behind the times I guess ::shrug::
It's true you could argue that it's ethnocentric to say they're immoral, but the fact that the women are fighting for more seems to suggest otherwise. Haha, you know a country is behind the times when they argue, "our woman have many freedomes! they can drive! Even taxi cabs!"
